Employee Central Payroll point-to-point replicationbypasses middleware, which disables use ofgeneric value conversion rulesconfigured in integration content (e.g., SAP CPI). This setup uses direct data exchange, limiting customization.

Filtering options in the monitor include parameters like new hires only, country, and multiple company codes to refine data visibility for troubleshooting. These help narrow down replication issues efficiently.

Activating the "Set inactive user status" switch in the V_ECPAO_CONSTANT view ensures thatinactive users are processed after active usersduring initial migration. This helps to prioritize active employment records for immediate business use and simplifies post-migration validation.

Setting the picklistMode to 'X'in the Constants table ensures the replication process usesOptionIDvalues from MDF picklists. This method is preferred for aligning coded values (such as gender or marital status) between EC and ERP.

BothdescribeanddescribeExreturn metadata information such as field names and custom segments.

UI mashup integrationembeds ERP screens directly within EC pages using iFrames.

Provisioningis the backend interface used by implementation partners or SAP consultants. It enablesUI integration settings, like URL handlers and custom navigation links that connect EC with SAP ERP UIs.

In Side-by-Side UI integration,employees can access SAP ERP-generated documents like payslips directly from EC, using embedded links or mashups. This is a common and validated use case.

The transactionSTRUSTin SAP ERP is used toupload SSL certificates, including those from the SAP Integration Suite load balancer. This ensures secure HTTPS communication for data exchange and UI mashups.

Before going live, anyvalue mappingsdefined in test must be updated or validated in the productive client to ensure consistency. This is crucial as value mappings impact data interpretation during replication.

Version historyensures data traceability.

User relationconnects object to a person.

Business Integration Builder (BIB)provides a user-friendly, configuration-based approach for mapping and transforming data between SAP ERP and Employee Central. It requiresno coding, making it ideal for scalable and maintainable integrations.

In the OData Upsert configuration for packaged integration:

Authentication typedefines how the adapter connects securely to SuccessFactors.

Addressspecifies the endpoint URL for the OData service.

TheI/O Indicatorin aValue Conversion Rulespecifies the transformation direction:

"I"(Inbound to ERP),

"O"(Outbound to EC), or

APOST requestto an entity in OData API is used for bothcreating new recordsandupdating existing ones, depending on whether the record already exists. This is a common pattern in OData "upsert" logic.

Thestart_dateparameter defines the beginning of the reporting period. For monthly reports, set it to thefirst of the month.

To configure theinitial load, you need to:

Define theEC company ID, which maps the company codes between systems.

TheSAP Business Accelerator Hubis the official platform to explore releasedAPIs, events, and integration artifactsfor all SAP solutions.

The"Include System Generated Job Codes"option is specific to internal code generation used for integration metadata. When exporting picklists, this must be deselected to ensure a clean export of only the relevant OptionIDs and Labels needed for mapping in ERP.

To replicate associations, you mustmap association types to ERP relationship types. This determines how the linkage between cust_shop and division is interpreted in the SAP ERP hierarchy.

Transaction SFIOM_KMAP_OSI is used to verify and maintainkey mappingsbetween SAP ERP organizational object IDs and those used in Employee Central. This step is critical to ensure data integrity across systems after migration.
